I spent the whole night cutting white smiles out of good housekeeping
Cuz a magazine doesn't need smiles while it's takin moms savings
At least that what I told myself
Really, I'm just wide awake and bored as hell
But I keep 'em on a shelf
Just so I can smile at will
At least when you're around
I wish I could see you now
I want to break through the noise
Wish you would choose a voice
Cuz it breaks my heart tryna bring you joy
I spent the good part of the evening
Peeling my eyes from off the ceiling
Tryna hold on to better days
When I know they're fading
Im diving in the hamper past the damp towels
Just to get a sweatshirt out
Cuz I'm too damn stubborn
Just to say what I wanted, but I'll spell it out
Now you're not around
I wish I could see you now
I want to break through the noise
Wish you would choose a voice
Cuz it breaks my heart tryna bring you joy
I spent the good part of the evening
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Yeah I'm waiting for you
Cuz it breaks my heart to get in the way
My part is so hard to play
I just wanna bring you joy
